Fast guide with explanations

4 min readFeb 21, 2021

Just 8 clicks (not counting the pin-code), and all IRISnet will hear your voice!

I use Cosmostation Wallet for voting:
iOS: https://apple.co/33q6A8f
Android: https://bit.ly/3bOJbRr
Browser wallet: https://wallet.cosmostation.io/
Also, to vote for proposals, you need to have a balance on your iris-address, and your IRIS-tokens need to be delegated to any validator!

Open your iris-address in the Cosmostation Wallet App. You will see this:

Be sure, that your $IRIS are delegated!
User, who are delegating $IRIS — support IRISnet.
They not only get reward for delegation, but they also have right to vote!
Click “Governance” — the first click.

You will see a list of proposals:

Be sure, that proposal in the “voting period”
Click on the proposal — the second click.

You will see the information about the proposal:

You can see time period of voting.
Read proposal description, to to know what you are voting for!
Click “Vote” — the third click.

You will see 4 possible answers:

You need to choose one of 4 answers: “Yes”, “No”, “No with veto”, “Abstain”. In this guide, I select “YES” — the fourth click.
After click on “Next” — the fifth click.

You will be asked to insert memo:

Memo is important for exchanges, for voting — it’s not important.
You can insert nothing, or write anything you want.
In this guide I’ve wrote: “IRIS need your vote!”, — it will be written in the blockchain. Forever!
Click on “Next” — the sixth click.

You will see information about network fee:

“Voting for proposal” is also transaction in the blockchain! Because of it, you can be sure, that nobody fake your vote! Cosmostation Wallet has minimal fee, and this fee goes to validators of IRISnet, not to Cosmostation.
Click on “Next” — the seventh click.
